Hey, all. This is a skeleton thread for the yet unnamed red and white Death and Taxes offshoot that Bahra, myself, and a few others have independently tried out in some version. Bahra is coming from something close to D+T like this:
Creatures (26):
4x Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
4x Mother of Runes
4x Flickerwisp
4x Phyrexian Revoker
4x Stoneforge Mystic
4x Magus of the Moon
2x Serra Avenger
Non-creature spells (11):
1x Umezawa's Jitte
1x Batterskull
1x Sword of Fire and Ice
4x Ęther vial
4x Swords to Plowshares
Lands (23):
4x Wasteland
4x Rishadan Port
3x Karakas
3x Windswept Heath
2x Marsh Flats
2x Plateau
4x Plains
1x Cavern of Souls
Sideboard:
3x Sudden Demise
3x Ethersworn Canonist
3x Rest in Peace
2x Council's Judgement
1x Cataclysm
1x Ratchet Bomb
1x Pithing Needle
1x Containment Priest
Note that he retains the D+T central features of haters and mana denial with just the Magus from red.
My failed attempts up to now were much further away from anything that actually works. But I proxied this one last night and it was better than my other tries by a wide margin.
4 Mother of Runes
4 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
1 Phyrexian Revoker
1 Fiend Hunter
1 Aven Mindcensor
4 Imperial Recruiter
4 Magus of the Moon
1 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Stoneforge Mystic
4 Swords to Plowshares
1 Batterskull
1 Umezawa's Jitte
4 Aether Vial
4 Chalice of the Void
4 Chrome Mox
4 Cavern of Souls
4 Arid Mesa
5 Plains
1 Mountain
4 Plateau
D+T does a crazy thing. It is a kind of control deck that lacks significant library manipulation and card advantage. This deck veers far from its D+T roots and looks a bit more like the old Dragon Stompy decks except that it has both of these features included. (I tried it with black for Confidant also, but I could not get the mana right and the casting cost of these guys is on the high end, so I cut it.) Note that almost all the creatures are human, so you can dodge your own Chalice of the Void merely by using Cavern mana (or Vial, of course).
To my knowledge only Bahra has had any tournament success up until this point.
"Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
"Politicians are like diapers. They should be changed often and for the same reason."
"Governing is too important to be left to people as silly as politicians."
"Politicians were mostly people who'd had too little morals and ethics to stay lawyers."
